I tested the coolers both at stock speed and overclocked (e6600 @ 3.6Ghz - 9 x 401) (AMD 3400+ - 2.37Ghz) to see how the coolers would perform under additional load. CPU load was achieved by running two instances of Stanfords [email protected] (e6600) and a single instance of [email protected] for the AMD. The idle temperature measurements were noted after the system was resting at the windows desktop for 30 minutes. To measure the CPU's temperature I used 'The Coolest's Core Temp monitoring program. Ambient temperature was 18 degrees Celsius at the time of the test. To give real world results, all testing was conducted within the confines of each repective PC's case.

As you can see from the results, the Freezer 7 Pro is a noteworthy adversary, especially considering that it's designed with silence in mind. Although, at the maximum fan speed the fan is quite noticable. The Intel reference cooler is entirely out of its league, let alone being able to compare with the Freezer 7 Pro, which operates noticeably quieter and vastly better. Now, let's have a look at how the Freezer 64 Pro stacks up in the cooling stakes.AMD 3400+

You can see from the above images that both the Freezer 7 Pro and the Freezer 64 Pro can really hold their own when it comes to providing effective cooling performance. Let's move onto my final thoughts and conclusion on these great coolers.
